No.

I always recommend a minimum of 256GB and better yet 512GB storage space. You could never find a Windows computer with just 45GB storage space.

If you have a M1 Mac then you can not use Boot Camp anyway.

You might get Windows installed on 50GB but that leaves no room for Windows programs, memory swap, temp files, etc. Research Windows computers for sale and you will not find any Windows computers for sale that only have a 50GB drive.

Hi, My mac has an Intel processor. My flash storage is only 250GB!!

I was on the phone with apple support and this question came up, they said 50GB is required for the 'lower' version of Windows. Since I only want Windows for one application, is that correct? Thanks.
